Hi everyone. I'm trying to use Roxio's Easy Media Creator 7.5 on my Sony Viao PCG-VX88 with an Intel 82815 Graphics card. Of course now I find that the card is too old to run DirectX 9.0 3D, which is apparently required by the Media Creator. I checked for a new driver on the Intel site, but they no longer provide updates for this card; the last one came out in '02 and since I got the laptop in '03 I kind of doubt it would do any good. (if you want, see this old thread for some back-information I researched regarding this whole DirectX problem.)
Does anyone know of where I could get a third-party driver or patch or something that might enable my system to run DirectX 9.0, or am I doomed to install a new graphics card?
If I do need to install a graphics card, does someone have any advice about how to go about doing this? I've upgraded my desktop PC multiple times, but I've never even looked in my laptop. It has a little bay in the side that is apparently for some kind of upgrade cards, but I don't know what, exactly... can I use that for a new graphics card? (and should this paragraph be posted in a hardware section of this site?)
Anyway, please pick a part of this to respond to and let me know what you think. I could really use some help. Thanks!
